Wavelengths and density
Mychondria MyLight 2.0 panels use 630 and 660 nm red plus 850 nm near infrared at a published 1:1:2 ratio, so half of each panel is 850 nm.
Bon Charge Mini, Demi, Max and Super Max panels use 660 nm red and 850 nm near infrared. The Bullet handheld also lists 630 nm. Per-band share is not published. Density matters more than count, and only Mychondria publishes a full 1:1:2 split.
Edge: Mychondria on published share.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Mychondria publishes spectrometer readings taken with a named instrument, a HOPOO HPCS-330Pro, at the centre of the panel at 100% output and 6 inches: MIDI 2.0 89.0, MAX 2.0 72.0 and PRO 2.0 66.0 mW/cm². These are brand-published, not independent. Mychondria’s solar-meter figures are not used.
No named spectrometer reading for a Bon Charge panel was found on 10 November 2026. Brand-stated output figures do not name a measuring method or distance, so they are not used here.
Only Mychondria publishes a named spectrometer reading, and it is brand-published, so the two are not ranked against each other on power.
Edge: Not ranked on power.
